Based on what we're hearing, you won't see another Scroogled ad unless there's something particularly egregious from Google that Microsoft really wants to highlight. Scroogled isn't totally dead, but it's mostly dead.

A Microsoft spokesperson gave us this statement: "We are always evaluating and evolving our marketing campaigns. There are times when we use our marketing to highlight differences in how we see the world compared to competitors, and the Scroogled campaign is an example of this. Moving forward, we will continue to use all the right approaches and tactics when and where they make sense."

Scroogled was Microsoft's attempt to bash Google. It was a bunch of heavy handed ads that attacked Gmail, Chrome, and other Google products.

It was led by Mark Penn, a former political strategist. It had the feel of a political attack campaign. But it didn't do anything as far as we could tell to slow Google's growth or boost Microsoft's growth.
